Embedded devices (Android) use GPT partition names to identify
partitions, instead of file system labels. Add support for viewing and
changing them.
As partition names are used to provide unique identification they are
never copied when copying the contents of one partition to another.
Note that GNU/Linux uses file system labels, UUIDs or device names for
identification during the boot process and afterwards so while partition
names can be used, they are optional and purely for user information.
Bug 741424 - Add support for GPT partition names
This and the following few commits rename variables, methods, classes,
etc from *label_partition* to *label_filesystem* so that the code also
reflects that it is the label of the file system that is being modified
and to separate it from the name partition operation about to be added.
enum OPERATION_LABEL_PARTITION -> OPERATION_LABEL_FILESYSTEM
Bug 741424 - Add support for GPT partition names
This is part of parent bug:
Bug #721455 - Obsolete info in license text on multiple modules
and GNOME Goal:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/Proposals
* verify all source files to make sure they have a license and a
copyright, and that both are up-to-date
Bug #721565 - License text contains obsolete FSF postal address
Include guards need to be unique within GParted code and all included
library header files.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Include_guard#Difficulties
Use this model for all include guards:
#ifndef GPARTED_FILE_NAME_H
#define GPARTED_FILE_NAME_H
...
#endif /* GPARTED_FILE_NAME_H */
Closes Bug #539297 - Make include guards unique
Add the ability to set a new random UUID on file systems that provide
the appropriate tools to perform this action.
Update the help manual to include this new functionality. Also add
reference links to "setting a partition label" and "changing a
partition UUID" in the "copying and pasting a partition" section.
This patch does not include setting the UUID on an NTFS file system.

Restore copyright entries by original author to those of his last
known repository commit titled "released gparted-0.3.4 on
LarryT's request." on Feb 25, 2007.
Add my own copyright entries for files in which I changed source
code. Files in which I only made spelling changes do not have my
copyright entry added.
* include/Makefile.am,
include/Operation.h,
include/Win_GParted.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc,
src/Makefile.am,
src/Win_GParted.cc,
include/OperationCheck.h (new),
src/OperationCheck.cc (new): added 'check' operation. The
functionality was already there, but it was not possible yet to
activate it from the gui.
* include/Dialog_Progress.h,
include/Operation.h,
src/Dialog_Progress.cc,
src/GParted_Core.cc: show warning in progressfeedback if a certain
action is n/a. Of course we only allow these actions if the results
are non-lethal.
* Use ped_device_read and ped_device_write instead of 'dd' to copy
filesystems.
Modified progressdetails to provide more detailed feedback about a
process.
Basicly these were all changes to the infrastructure to make the
incorporation of the 'move-code' a bit easier.
( sorry, not in the mood to list all affected files ;)
* src/Win_GParted.cc: removed warning about busy device. It's not
really needed and it confuses people.
* include/Operation.h: set default status of operationdetails to NONE
* include/Dialog_Progress.h,
src/Dialog_Progress.cc: implemented export of operationdetails to
external file. This can be very usefull for debugging. (#329968)
* added detailed progressfeedback. It still needs some polishing, but
is already far better then the old situation. And what's more, it's
finally threadsafe :p
* happy new year ;)
* src/TreeView_Detail.cc: fixed some alignment issues
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc,
include/Operation.h,
src/Operation.cc,
include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: removed confirmationdialogs for delete and
convert partitions (#319841).
Also renamed 'convert' to 'format' to reflect the actual
functionality.
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: did some cleanups
* include/Operation.h,
src/Operation.cc: added get_index_extended to get the ext_index in a
uniform way instead of calculating it every time ourselves.
* Added cylsize to Device and made Operation contain a Device instead of only the path and lenght.
This way i was able to dump Get_Cyl_Size in the Core. Besides that, i used cylsize in WinGparted and made a lot of
cosmetic changes. Most of them were pretty useless, but hey, i'm bored ;)
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: modified layoutscan a bit for improved handling of metadata.
* include/Operation.h,
src/Operation.cc: modified Insert_Unallocated() to prevent potential crasher.
* Again way too many chances to create a detailed entry (i'm glad i'm the only dev atm :P ).
Resizing of ext2/3 works perfect now. I've even tested it on the partition holding my SG seasons =)
Implemented checking of filesystems (only internally used atm).
Done some overall tweaking, finetuning etc.. release 0.0.7 is getting shape.
* Rewrote a large part of gparteds internal code. Filesystemssupport is now much more separated from the rest of gparted and
adding support for other filesystems should be a piece of cake now (hope that's true :P)
It still needs a lot of love, but the foundations are laid =)
* include/Operation.h,
src/Operation.cc: make use of reference arguments instead of return values in some functions.
Also fixed a small bug with deletion of a virtual (new) logical partition.
* include/VBox_VisualDisk.h,
src/VBox_VisualDisk.cc: logical filesystems weren't shown in the legend, fixed.
* src/Frame_Resizer_Base.cc: fixed small bug with custom cursors.
* src/TreeView_Detail.cc: removed obsolete, already commented code.
* src/Win_GParted.cc: make use of reference arguments instead of return values in some functions. (see Operation)
* instead of listing all partition in one list, logical partitions are now stored in a sublist in extended partition object.
This makes partitionhandling in gparted more natural and transparant. It also allowed me to clean up this ugly Operation class ;)
* include/Operation.h,
src/Operation.h: minor (code) change in displaying errormessage. Made Apply_Resize_Move_Extended_To_Visual() a bit more
readable (and thus debugable). This whole class could still use a soft, caring hand though :P
* src/Device.cc: Unallocate space < 1MB wasn't filtered out. fixed.
* src/Partition.cc (Set_Used): Unused wasn't set properly. fixed.
